But, here are some tips:įeel free to ignore daggers, but get Critical Strikes on rows 2 and 3 for sure (I ignored the last Crit Strikes until I had everything unlocked and extra points and figured I might as well spend them).
I'd suggest following instinct, everything's pretty self-explanatory. Whichever you prefer they share similar purposes, but Shadow has the added bonus of being able to let you escape or infiltrate areas - I got the last one when I was done upgrading everything else - never actually used Flame, not even for fun (but I used the bow a lot). Getting a second one after you get Health 3. Getting Storm of Urael ASAP (I unlocked Shadow before any other upgrade, but I had a rune that insta-unlocked Storm for me Storm is the best of three by far). > Max out weapons -> Max out Arrows + Focus. > Health Max, add + 1 to everything else. > Health to 3, Arrows, Focus, Sword at 2, dagger and bow at 1. I would do the following order: Health to 2, Everything else to one. By the time I completed the story, I had 6700M left over. I didn't start the final mission chain ("The Cure") until I had done everything else.
I had every single upgrade unlocked when I was ~90% done. Everything else was just fluff for my play through - though I really appreciated Fell Voices too. Realistically, if you can get Knight of Eregion, One with Nature, Blade of Gondolin, and Rising Storm, you'll be golden. Oathbreaker (I never used throwing daggers, but if I did, I would have replaced this rune with Wolf's Head) Knight of Eregion (HIGHLY recommend - so OP, so fun)įell-Handed (I had Fire Storm in its place for a while, but I didn't like too much)
Shortly after arriving in the second, and final, zone, I decided to farm epic runes by using the Trial of Wisdom mode.Īfter maybe ~3-4 hours, I ended up with all but ~5 epic runes in the game. So I've now 100% the main campaign (not PSN achievements, just what the game itself records).
What are must have abilities/ runes/ upgrades and in what order should I prioritize each? Second: Crit Strikes + Poison + Brutalize Sword: 3 rune slots with Flame of Anor + Elven Grace + Rising stormĭagger: 2 slots with One with Nature + Fell Voicesīow: 2 slots with Ascendant + Deadly Archer I'm going through my first walkthrough and I'm wondering what abilities I should unlock and which runes to use.
